Yes. You can remove the hud elements and the cmp for the cockpit and get the effect you're looking for. Look in shiparch.ini to remove the cockpit and the interface folder to remove the hud(just put none in front of .cmp/.3db. You could also try giving your camera offset a negative value and fly around in front of your ship from chase cam.

Using a special program to change it, or just in notepad?

What I meant is that you can't be detected, just as if you were a camera. What you gave me is good, but I fear it woul;dn't work too well if you can still be shot at . And possibly you don't have to use jumpgates: so you can just select a destination and go there to watch things.

no you cant do that.

Using notepad. As to the rest, no I wouldn't know how to do that. You can get that flying through space feeling by changing the camera offset for your turret cam. You have to fiddle with the numbers to get a decent view but once you've got it looking ok you can set it out to about 40k and just zoom around. Only problem is that since your ship isn't in those zones there won't be any ships to look at. Should be fun for all of 30 seconds though.

I've been around here long enough to see that cloak's won't work Think about it harder before you post an accusation like that again.
No, what I genuinely want is to be able to move around Sirius at will (possibly by just selecting a destination and you automatically move there) as if you were a camera or not there. Move backwards and sideways at the same speed as going forward, maybe still be able to select ships, maybe not. It would make for some great screenshots!

i didn't mean to be accusatory - but from what i understood, it just sounded like you didn't want to be seen or detected - which is what a cloak is.
EDIT : clearly i misunderstood what was said. i'd be interested to see if it was possible - some of the systems in freelancer are beautiful

To get toward his idea, makng NPC's not react to you, is that possible?

the_darkness, you are dumb as he wants to go around without a ship whatsoever

he is talking about being an obsrever just like in Counter Strike...

create a custom model (maybe the look of an eye, lol), skin it, export to FL as if u would make a ship.
DONT give it a sur file.
no mounted things except an engine and a powerplant. make it FAST and AGILE.

it can't be hit by projectiles (give it a high hull to resist radiation damage), it can move very fast.
give the char a complete neutral rep (with ioncross FLSO for example).
then NPCs will ignore it as well.

enjoy, should work ...

Sounds like a good idea. GMax doesnt work on my computer though

Better make it a friendly rep Fjord, otherwise NPC's will sometimes ask you to drop yer cargo.

And while friendly they'll still scan you but that can't be easily fixed I guess.
